Work Permit Receiver Preparation

Preparation for work permit receiver duties including joint site inspection, hazard understanding, crew briefing, worksite monitoring and permit close-out.

This section introduces the book and its connection to the Saudi Aramco Work Permit System.

How the Work Permit Receiver prerequisite training fits togetherThe Work Permit Receiver prerequisite training is built around three classroom books: Hazard Recognition, Confined Space Entry, and Lock Out and Hold Tags. Together they prepare you to recognize the job hazards, understand the...
The four Saudi Aramco work permits and the permit form layoutSaudi Aramco uses four main work permits: Cold Work, Hot Work, Equipment Opening or Line Break, and Confined Space Entry. A job may need more than one permit because the permit type is selected...

BOOK 3 — LOCK OUT AND HOLD TAGS: Module 4: Steps to perform isolations.

Isolation sequence — identify to TRY / verifyThe safe sequence prevents people being exposed while energy is still available. Follow the approved order and do not skip TRY or stored-energy control because the equipment appears stopped.
Single block isolation — use and proofA single closed valve can be used only where GI 6.012 and the isolation assessment permit it. It is a primary isolation, not positive isolation, and its effectiveness must be proven by an approved...
Double Block and Bleed — how it works and its limitsDouble Block and Bleed uses two block valves with an open bleed between them. The bleed shows leakage and relieves material trapped between the block valves. It remains a primary isolation method, not positive...
When positive isolation is requiredPositive isolation uses a physical barrier such as a blind or physical disconnection so process material cannot reach the work. GI 6.012 identifies higher-consequence work where primary valve isolation is not enough.
Blinding, blanking and the blind listA blind or blank creates a physical barrier in the line. The blind must be rated, installed at the correct location and recorded so it is not missed during restoration.
Physical disconnection and CSE positive isolationPhysical disconnection removes a spool, hose or other connection and creates a visible break. The open ends must be controlled so material cannot enter the space or expose people.
Electrical isolation and test for deadElectrical isolation is carried out by authorized competent personnel. The correct circuit is identified, disconnected, secured and tested to confirm the absence of voltage before exposure.
Multi-lock hasps and group lockboxWhere several people depend on one isolation, the approved hasp or group-lockbox system gives each person personal control. The arrangement must account for every worker before the equipment can be restored.
